WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Vintage
The 2007 vintage was one of the best in recent memory. After a normal bud break, the valley experienced mild weather through the growing season with a slightly cooler summer and warm September. This climate resulted in slow, even ripening with a crop just slightly smaller than normal, and the highly desired small berry size. Winemakers across the valley are very excited about the 2007 vintage.

Winemaker's Notes
Classic varietal zin nose of wild berries, cranberry and pomegranate. Very lively on the palate with ripe fruit and balanced acidity, finishing with notes of chocolate and oak spice.
